It’s Summer in Scotland and you can take a guided tour of Jimmy Page’s famous former home, Boleskine House (and also home to Aleister Crowley). Page claimed it was haunted. The beautiful ruins are now open for viewing. It’s also now 54 years since the Summer of Punk. John Lydon’s playlist is here, for inspiration. Follow us on Twitter for more @ammptv in July.

A rare self-caricature drawn by Kurt Cobain in 1992 has sold for $281,250. Sketched by Cobain at the TNT Music Centre in Singapore during the Nevermind tour, the image is signed, “Kurdt Kobain Rock Star” with the message, “I don’t know how to play and I don’t give a hoot!”
Kurt Cobain passed away just two years later in 1994. A 1959 Martin D-18E guitar he played during an MTV Unplugged performance sold for over $6 million last year. It was the most expensive guitar ever sold at auction at the time.
